As part of the celebration of Tiffany's 175th Gala honoring the timeless Zeigfeld collection featured in Baz Lurhmannn's version of The Great Gatsby, I designed period influenced costumes and ornamentation to enhance nostalgic mood of the party scene. Already inspired by its location of Rockefeller center, with the company of the Rockettes, fashion models as cigarette girls and two aerialists that flew 15 feet above the celebrity and invitation only audience, the scene of Gatsby was accomplished.
